Important Warnings

Risk of hypoglycaemia (more likely with missed meals, excess exercise, alcohol, or with other antidiabetics); carry glucose source. Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis—risk increases with severe kidney impairment, dehydration, sepsis, hypoxia, or excess alcohol; kidney function monitoring is required. Use caution in liver disease, elderly, malnourished, and during acute illness/surgery. Withhold metformin before/at iodinated contrast studies and restart only after renal function is stable as advised by doctor.

Alcohol (increases risk of hypoglycaemia and lactic acidosis)
